A persuasive video about the merits of a comic series published in 1957-1959 in Argentina. A science-ficion alien invasion series that drew attention and backlash from the authoritarian Argentinian government in power at that time, for its allegorical commentary.
The documentary narrator makes comparison of these series to high-concept work by Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman, which would make me seek it out if it were in print and easy to access.
I hope someone in editorial at Dark Horse or IDW sees this video, and pushes to get the rights for a new printing of this series in the U.S. I'd love to see it happen. Fantagraphics seems to already be aware of it, and already published Oesterheld's other goundbreaking series, MORT CINDER, and CHE. Having published the others, maybe Fantagraphics already has plans to release the other out-of-print works listed.
Another example of worthy comics work from probably the least known era of comics, that deserves to be seen by a modern audience, either in a new reprint series in comics, or as a nice collected hardcover, and/or made accessible in scanned issues online.
